A member asked:

Stuffy nose after a glass or 2 of red wine. not so much with other liquors. is this due to the tannins or histamines associated with red wine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: or could be a sensitivity to sulfites added to most wines as a preservative. Try an organic sulfite free wine and see what happens.
